School Websites

At Smart School Websites, we have over 15 years experience working in education and fully understand the needs of a modern school and strive to produce websites that we easy to use, look great and are packed with features that make things easier!

Fully Responsive School Websites

All of our school websites are responsive designed. This means that content is ‘jiggled’ around automatically so that it fits perfectly on whatever device it is being viewed on; computer, tablet or mobile. Responsive design also removes the need for a separate ‘mobile site’; which are often costly and mean twice as much updating. Everything is maintained from your site admin area.

Why are responsive School Websites important?

Recently google announced that it is ranking responsive websites higher in the search listing than those that aren’t mobile friendly, you can read this article from Sky News for more information.

Also, Ofcom have just reported that mobile internet use has just overtaken that of laptops for the first time, this article explains in more detail.

We create designs that are individual to you and your school. Even down to how content is organised. We design with you in mind, and how you want things doing. We listen to you. This is your website, so you know what it needs to contain and how it needs to look.

We will advise and guide with our expertise and ideas, but the most important ideas are yours. Our face to face meetings are key to the design process. We invite as many members of staff you feel need to be involved in the ideas process, we even advise to speak to your students; as they have brilliant ideas too! Only when you are 100% happy do we progress and begin building your site.
